Just an easy lunch with friends. We were three people and it was our first visit to this restaurant but certainly not our last. A wonderful menu accommodating each of us, a meat lover, a vegetarian and a foodie. We really enjoyed our plates. A delicious vegetarian meal size minestrone soup served with the most delicious thin, toasted and heavily buttered sourdough bread. Also a thick beef sandwich with bbq mayo, onions caramélisée also in their wonderful sourdough bread, accompanied by a small serving of the daily soup - a butternut squash and apple purée. Y.U.M. The ambiance is super casual with an equestrian motif throughout, a roaring fireplace just far enough from the tables and the tables separated enough for privacy. The wait staff yesterday, a Thursday lunch, was the owner himself, a young guy, very personable and attentive. Can’t wait to go experience their breakfasts and dinners!

First the cappuccinos and espresso were lukewarm at best and came without sugar. After the cappuccinos were cold I finally got up to get it myself at the bar.we waited over 45 minutes for the food and when I complained once at 30 minutes then at 45 minutes the owner said I spoke too loud and said I could leave if I wasn’t happy. I was calm but a little frustrated with reason The place wasn’t even busy. They first told me they lost a chef this morning that’s why it was taking so long. I wonder why he walked out??? I saw some dishes go by and wasn’t really looking for my food anyway The food we ordered were a soup and 2 waffles. Tell me why it’s so long ???? Unacceptable behaviour for an owner. Up to you to take the chance to go.

Great place if you are looking for more refined cooking. Not cheap, but high quality of ingredients and interesting tastes, not your average bistro food that is so prevalent in other restaurants. Since it is not convenience food that just needs heating the preparation needs a bit longer, don’t expect fast food. Certainly an asset to the Magog dining scene!

We enjoyed an excellent lunch here recently. The pork and tofu sandwiches were both delicious, as was the included leek soup. The setting is lovely, and our server Marc Anthony (the owner) was gracious and friendly. He gave us some great advice on travel to Scotland! We were only in Magog a few days but wished it were longer, as we loved the town and this restaurant.

We had breakfast at the White Horse twice while visiting from Ottawa with my parents, and we left thoroughly satisfied both times. Everything we ate (the egg/BLT breakfast sandwich, the waffles, and the gravlax bagel) was fantastic. We also liked that the menu includes some simpler options like a bagel with cream cheese and toast with jam--great options for my mom, who doesn't have a huge appetite. Boosting this café's appeal is the lovely equestrian-themed decor (which includes a wood-burning fireplace) and the warm, friendly service. This was our first time in beautiful Magog, but we'll be back and we'll be eating at The White Horse again!

My wife and I enjoyed a fabulous lunch today at this charming Bistro. Food was served timely and everything was delicious. A fine young man named Mathieu served us. He had a dessert suggestion that was the cherry on top of an excellent meal..Hats off to the Owner Mark Anthony who took the time out to chat with us as we are new in town..Cheers. See you again soon.

The food was incredible, the service was great, the only downside was the noise from the busy street slightly diminished the terrace ambiance. Well worth the price though.

Warm, courteous and welcoming atmosphere, refined, peaceful for reflection, seriousness, with pretty photos whatever the circumstances, the setting is incredible, with beautiful wood with a quiet fireplace inside and outside .. In short, a pleasant place that worth the detour for a rather fit and sunny budget . Great local food and drinks obviously chill The recent decoration is efficient, square, impeccable The staff does their job seriously, with a big smile . A place conducive to guitar playing and healing, peace and intellectual and zen recharge... friendly with cooking on the armchairs and riding equipment.... In short, the music is also good like that of Jean-Jacques Goldam in short, laughter

The service was completely unacceptable slow. The coffee was cold. After 45 minutes of waiting to be served and a complaint from us to that effect, the man in charge (owner?) stupidly told us to leave. I have never been treated so badly in a restaurant. It was my first and last visit!

First I have to mention the very smooth experience of this place. You can relax with a coffee on Adirondak chairs, take your time on the planted terrace or enjoy the well-decorated interior. I like this type of place where entrepreneurs have thought of offering that certain something to their guests. Secondly, I want to congratulate the choice of the menu, the quality of the ingredients and the exquisite flavors which are good for both the belly and the soul!!!! And finally, thank you for the lovely welcome for our dog, very attentive!! Thank you thank you, we will be back!

The menu of this restaurant seemed very interesting but I was a little disappointed with the dishes chosen. A sandwich dish includes soup. The portions are quite small but enough to not feel full after the meal. The slices of bread used are too thin, I had to finish eating my sandwich with a knife and fork. The menu inspires bistronomic food but the result is not there. It remains an honest restaurant if you dont have any expectations. Note that there is a smell of horses in the restaurant, beware of allergy sufferers. I wont go back there.

Nous sommes aller bruncher/dîner dans ce bistro. Nous avons tous été très satisfait de notre repas et les quantités étaient plus que satisfaisante. Nous étions un groupe de 8 personnes, nous avons débuté le repas avec une assiette de fromage et charcuterie qui était excellente ! Très beau décor rustique. Sur photo : le bagel lox avec gravlax !

There were only 4 of us in the restaurant, it took 30 min. + for a sandwich and two soups. Lack of choice on the menu, but the food was good. There is a lot of room for improvement.
